Product Overview
This Civil War Confederate Cavalry Officer’s Saber replica, commonly known as the Gen. Jo Shelby Sword, is a striking historical display piece inspired by sabers carried by Confederate cavalry and field officers during the American Civil War. Crafted as a decorative, non-functional collectible, this sword represents the distinctive styling associated with CSA Civil War swords of the mid-19th century.
Modeled after the U.S. field officer’s saber of the era, this Confederate officer’s sword replica features a unique guard design with open spaces in place of the floral motifs commonly seen on Union variants. The brass branches and counterguard are tastefully decorated, highlighted by prominent “CS” lettering facing the blade, a hallmark detail found on many period Confederate cavalry sabers.
The knuckle guard includes a traditional slot for a saber knot, while the pommel is accented with a finely detailed spray of laurel leaves along its forward edge. These ornamental elements contribute to the sword’s authentic Civil War aesthetic, making it a compelling addition to any Civil War Confederate sword collection.
The grip is constructed from wood, wrapped in black leather, and tightly wound with twisted brass wire. This combination reflects period styling while enhancing the visual realism expected from a premium CSA Civil War sword replica. While inspired by historical originals, this piece is intended strictly for display, reenactment costuming, or collection purposes only.
Completing the presentation is a highly polished steel scabbard, fitted with brass throat, drag, ring mounts, and suspension rings. The contrast between the bright steel and warm brass hardware enhances the overall appearance, making this Confederate cavalry saber suitable for wall displays, museum-style presentations, or historical décor settings.
A saber of this type is famously associated with Confederate General Jo Shelby, a cavalry commander known for never surrendering his command at the end of the Civil War. Because of this legacy, the design is often referred to as the Gen. Jo Shelby Confederate Cavalry Sword, making it especially appealing to collectors of Civil War Confederate swords and CSA memorabilia.
